Guess the Lyrics!
This is coming around again, so I figured what the hell.
Step 1: Put your iTunes on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 50 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold or Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.
(Disclaimer: I skipped songs where the first line very obviously is the title. I left a couple less obvious ones in - if you don’t know the song already, that is.)
1. Nine planets round the sun, only one does the sun embrace. Upon this watered one, so much we take for granted.
2. I saw a picture of you hanging in an empty hallway. I heard a voice that I knew and I couldn't walk way. - Akemi
3. You left me hanging from a thread we once swung from together. I lick my wounds but I can never see them getting better.
4. When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we see - no I won't be afraid. - Akemi (it was the John Lennon version, but it counts!)
5. I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine, gotta gotta be down because I want it all. - Akemi
6. Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction. Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion.
7. Some people say such awful things, don't understand they're so hateful. We don't need those diamond rings, even though they look tasteful.
8. Those who start wars never fight them. And those who fight wars, they never like them. And those who write laws, they can't recite them. And those of us who just fight laws, we live and die them.
9. Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope to a destination. - Akemi
10. You say that you're broken, I just want to fix you. Tell me what to do, baby I will listen.
11. She screams when I'm away, she's been gone before. I worry all the time - why worry anymore?
12. I, I'm a one-way motorway. I'm the one that drives away then follows you back home.
13. When the moon fell in love with the sun all was golden in the sky.
14. I want to, I want to be someone else or I'll explode. Floating upon the surface for the birds, the birds, the birds.
15. Did you ever want to go, leave love to those who know? Did you ever say, "I'm stuck in the middle"?
16. I won't let you down, I will not give you up. Gotta have some faith in the sound.
17. Anyone, caught in your mystery. Keep it angry, keep it whispy. I've fallen down, drunk on your juices.
18. Feels like we are married and I haven't run away, run away, run away. So many years I've carried you in my arms yet I stay, yet I stay, yet I stay.
19. I'm full of regret for all the things that I have done and said, and I don't know if it'll ever be okay to show my face around here. - Kirsten
20. I wanna run, I want to hide. I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside. I wanna reach out and touch the flame... - Ash
21. Stitch in your knitted brow and you don't know how you're gonna get it out.
22. Cold spell fell, late April morning stayed dark as well right on through the afternoon bell.
23. Is it getting better, or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame? - Akemi
24. I can't believe the news today. I can't close my eyes and make it go away. - Akemi
25. Another day has gone, I'm still all alone. How could this be, you're not here with me. - Ash
26. When the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies..... - Ash
27. Fear and panic in the air. I want to be free from desolation and despair.
28. Tough, you think you've got the stuff. You're telling me and anyone you're hard enough.
29. She don't want nobody near, but you can't get away from that. They appear and disappear, and they all get a string attached.
30. One man come in the name of love, one man come and go. - Akemi
31. If I go before I'm old, oh brother of mine please don't forget me if I go.
32. All winter we got carried away over on the rooftops, let's get married. All summer we just hurried. So come over, just be patient and don't worry.
33. Took the cannonball down to the ocean, crossed the desert from sea to shining sea.
34. Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam. And admit that the waters around you have grown, and accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone.
35. Are you worth your weight in gold? 'Cause you're behind my eyelids when I'm all alone. - Kirsten
36. Anyone who's ever had a heart wouldn't turn around and break it. And anyone who's ever played a part wouldn't turn around and hate it.
37. It was a cold and wet December day when we touched the ground at JFK. - Akemi
38. That's great, it starts with an earthquake. - Ash
39. I know a girl who's like the sea, I watch her changing every day for me.
40. Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing is gonna be alright. - Ash
41. You are subtle as a windowpane standing in my view, but I will wait for it to rain so I can see you.
42. When these pillars get pulled down, it will be you that wears the crown and I'll owe everything to you.
43. People downcast, in despair, see the disillusion everywhere, hoping that their luck will change. Gets a little harder everyday.
44. Tonight was just great - she taught us the sign for peace. Now she's made us some popcorn, we've turned out the lights and we're watching movies.
45. Well I wandered around after hours of words, and I waited in vain here for weeks. The ghost of a girlfriend is here in my room - I still smell her perfume in my sheets.
46. Precious and fragile things need special handling. My God, what have we done to you?
47. Summer after high school, when we first met, we'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead.
48. Guess this means you're sorry - you're standing at my door. Guess this means you take back all you said before. - Akemi
49. I got two armfuls of magazines for you. I'll bring 'em over. So hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden.
50. As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts, oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms. - Ash
